Marketing has changed dramatically since Kelley & Associates opened its doors in 1979.

We’ve changed with it.

From print, broadcast and outdoor to search, social, streaming, OTT/CTV and today’s rapidly changing AI-driven landscape, the platforms keep evolving.

One thing hasn’t:

Understanding people.

Technology changes how we reach them. Great marketing still depends on understanding what makes them pay attention, believe and act.

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, honor the heroes who answered the call and reflect on the strength and unity shown in the days that followed.

May we never forget.

444% increase in recruitment webpage views.

2.5+ million streaming video impressions.

$172,000+ in negotiated added media value.

Those were among the results of our award-winning Shelby County Sheriff’s Office Corrections Deputy Recruitment Campaign.

Creative gets attention.

Strategy makes sure the right people see it.

Smart media negotiation makes the budget work harder.

Put all three together and marketing can move the needle.

Public relations isn’t just about getting your name in the news.

It’s about reputation.

It’s about relationships.

And it’s about making sure the right story reaches the right audience at the right time.

From media and community relations to donor communications and crisis response, Kelley & Associates helps organizations build trust, protect their reputation and strengthen the connection between their brand and the people who matter.

A great video doesn’t begin when the camera starts rolling.

It begins with strategy.

What’s the objective? Who needs to see it? What should they remember? And what do we want them to do next?

From concept and scripting through production, editing and media placement, Kelley & Associates creates video designed for more than views.

We create it to work.

Before asking, “What should the ad say?”

Ask, “Who are we talking to?”

Good marketing starts long before the first headline is written or the first design is created.

Research, audience insights, competitive analysis and real-world data help us understand who matters most to a brand and what will motivate them.

Because intuition is valuable.

Intuition backed by data is better.

Nonprofit marketing has to do more with every dollar.

You aren’t simply selling a product. You’re building awareness, communicating a mission, recruiting volunteers, reaching clients, engaging donors and demonstrating impact.

We’ve spent decades helping mission-driven organizations do exactly that.

From fundraising campaigns and donor communications to events, PR, social media, digital advertising, video and media placement, we help nonprofits tell stories that move people to action.

Your mission matters. Your marketing should make it matter to others.

We love beautiful creative.

But beautiful isn’t enough.

Every color, word, image, headline and design decision should have a reason for being there.

Does it get attention?
Does it communicate quickly?
Does it reinforce the brand?
Does it make someone feel something?
Most importantly, does it move them to act?

That’s the difference between making something pretty and building effective creative.

3.2+ million impressions.
32,000+ engagements.
1,670 children enrolled.
230+ staff positions filled.

When Porter-Leath assumed leadership of Shelby County’s Head Start program, Kelley & Associates developed a full-funnel recruitment campaign designed to reach both families and prospective employees.

Strategy. Creative. Video. PR. Search. Streaming. Digital. Social. Email. Media negotiation and placement.

Because great campaigns aren’t about being everywhere.

They’re about putting the right message in the right places to move people to action.

Buying media is easy.

Buying it well is an entirely different thing.

The right audience.
The right platform.
The right frequency.
The right message.
The right negotiation.

From traditional television and radio to streaming, OTT/CTV, digital, outdoor and highly targeted campaigns, we build media strategies around the people our clients actually need to reach.

And we work hard to make every media dollar work harder.
